Ali Jr is considering suing the US Treasury and Homeland Security over the incident, and may file the lawsuit as a class action. Mancini believes it hints at a larger issue of profiling and discrimination.

The incident occurred just four days after a federal judge halted President Trump’s immigration ban.
